Refractive eye surgery in treating functional amblyopia in children.
Binocul Vis Strabismus Q
December 2006
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of excimer laser refractive surgery in children with severe vision problems, particularly those with amblyopia stemming from high anisometropia, high astigmatism, and high myopia, including some with developmental delays.
- A review of 11 children who had previously unsuccessful non-surgical treatments showed that the surgery effectively reduced refractive errors and improved vision and daily functioning.
- The findings suggest that refractive surgery is a safe and effective option for improving visual acuity in children with specific vision issues that aren’t responsive to standard treatments.
